Ethics and Social Media: Professional Considerations for the School Psychologist
Diamond, Elena Lilles; Whalen, Angela
Contemporary School Psychology, v23 n4 p351-356 Dec 2019
Given the widespread use of social media by school psychologists and the clients they serve, it is essential that school psychologists are knowledgeable about the potential benefits and risks associated with its use. Social media offers a powerful tool to improve practice in many ways, such as supporting professional collaboration, enhancing communication, and innovating treatment strategies. However, if not used carefully, practitioners' engagement with social media may inadvertently result in ethical missteps or diminished professional effectiveness. This article outlines major ethical considerations related to the personal and professional use of social media by school psychologists. Implications for school psychology training and practice are described.
